One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phoebe Cary, 1824-1871 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #243a (1917) Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er
I am nearer home today
Than I ever have been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
3 Nearer the bound of life
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5. Jesu, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the grasp of my faith:
Let me feel Thee near when I stand
On the edge of the shore of death;
6 Feel Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now than I think. Amen. Topics: Christ Sun of Righteousness; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Heaven A House ; Heaven Hope of; Heaven Our Home; Home Heaven our; Hope Of Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: AMBROSE

Author: Ph. Cary Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #352 (1918) Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er,--
Nearer my home, today am I
Than e'er I've been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer today the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
There rolls the silent unknown stream
That leads at last to light.
5 E'en now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping on the brink,
And I today am nearer home,--
Nearer than now I think.
6 Father, perfect my trust;
Strengthen my spirit's faith;
Nor let me stand at last alone
Upon the shores of death. Topics: Life Eternal

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Hymnal #407 (1916) Meter: Irregular Lyrics:
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea,
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the "many mansions" be;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown;
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the hand of my faith:
Let me feel thee near when I stand
On the edge of the shore of death;
Feel thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now than I think.
Amen.

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #468 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home to-day
Than e'er I've been before;
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be,
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down,
Nearer leaving the cross of grief,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
And winding down through the night,
Flows on the deep and unknown stream,
That leads me to the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen my hand of my faith,
And be Thou near me when I stand
Upon the shore of death.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #531 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er,--
Nearer my home, to-day, am I
Than e'er I've been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer to-day the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.

Winding down through the night,
There rolls the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to light.
E'en now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping over the brink,
For I, to-day, am nearer home,--
Nearer now than I think.
